Publication number: 20200241297Abstract: A drive device used in a head-up display device, the drive device being accommodated in a housing of the head-up display device and being fixed to the housing. The drive device includes a motor having a rotation shaft and a motor case having an end face through which the rotation shaft is protruded, a vibration suppressing member, and a frame provided with a first plate part having a through hole and a second plate part extended from the first plate part. The motor is fixed to the first plate part in a state that the rotation shaft is penetrated through the through hole and the end face is contacted with the first plate part, the vibration suppressing member is fixed to the first plate part or the motor case, and the second plate part is provided with a frame side fixed part which is to be fixed to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: NIDEC SANKYO CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki HATASAKO, Takanori OHKAWA, Takafumi KASUGA, Takahisa UEKI, Ken NOGUCHI, Masahiro WATANABE, Daiki FUNAMI

Patent number: 10138857Abstract: A rotor of a starter that employs an SR motor is directly connected to a crank shaft of an engine. The rotor and the crank shaft are set in such a way that when a piston is positioned at a top dead center or the like, salient poles and of the rotor face U-phase poles, so that an output torque of the starter comes to its maximum at a maximum pass-over torque position of the engine. When the engine is stopped, electricity is supplied through U-phase coils, thereby making the salient poles and the U-phase poles stop so as to face each other. In this manner, the piston is stopped at the maximum pass-over torque position. When the engine is started, electricity is supplied to W-phase coils which are adjacent to the U-phase coils, thereby making it possible to overcome a maximum friction torque with maximum outputs.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: MITSUBA CORPORATIONInventors: Daisuke Semba, Noriyuki Aramaki, Ken Noguchi, Masayuki Okubo

Patent number: 8925403Abstract: A starter includes a motor section; an output shaft which rotates with receiving a rotational force of the motor section; a gear mechanism which transmits the rotational force of the output shaft to a ring gear of an engine; and a switch unit which performs electrical connection and disconnection to the motor section. Thus, the output shaft, the gear mechanism and the switch unit are accommodated in a housing, and a groove section for weakening the stiffness of the housing is formed in housing at a position which avoids a position where the switch unit is arranged.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Tomohiko Ikemori, Mitsuhiro Kogure, Isao Hagiwara, Chihiro Horikoshi, Ken Noguchi
